Google Link Text in SERP's

[texcited]

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to tell google to use your title tag instead of link text for your link text in the SERP's? To elabaorate, my DMOZ listing has a different title in it than my title tag on the site itself, www.gardenoutfitters.com and the SERP's on google show the link text from DMOZ instead of my title tag. Hopefully there is some code to put in the meta tags that I'm unaware of. I hope that my explanation does not confuse you all. Thanks for any tips or advice.

The link text will be changed only if the description in the directory will be changed - the anchor text of the link in the directory.

Its surprising to see that there is no cached version of your homepage.

The title it shows could be of an older version of your website.

You have a PR of 6. And google should visit you regularly. Do you have any idea when googlebot visited your website??

Hi texcited :
You have a very interested Robots.txt file

the second line contains ( Disallow: * ) and this very small line tell all the search engines bots to go away and not indexing your site and because of that you have just 2 pages indexed the main page and the 404 error Page :);)

The title it's showing is from my DMOZ description, and I would rather have it show my sites title instead. Google does visit my site regularly, ussually at leasy every other day. But lately it has not crawled very deep, maybe 18 pages or so. I can't seem to figure out whats wrong with this site in terms of SEO, all my other sites are doing quite well in the serps. I try doing the same types of things here, and no luck.

What pages are you seeing this Disallow: * tag on? To my knowledge it shouldn't be on any of them, and I couldnt find that tag on any pages. Thanks,

Man if that was a snake it would have bitten me! I wasn't thinking of that file for some reason, and I was just looking at the sites meta tags. Thanks a million for pointing that out to me! I think that just may be the problem. Thanks everyone!
